Question: Hello, I'm consulting on behalf of my mother. Asian woman in late 40's. Experiencing severe shooting pain on right side of body only that radiates from the hip. Pain travels to the anterior groin and then travels, terminating at various points including the foot. neck, and head. Pain severity prevents sleep. No fever, no jaundice. Very sluggish bowel movement accompanies. Occasional blood stained urine. Recent (<6 mths) history of diverticulitis; treated with Augmentin and Arcoxia. History of scoliosis with fusion of sacral bones. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks, XXXXXXX

Due to scoliosis there can be reduced disc space leading to spinal cord impingement Due to compression of this nerve root there is pain in your hip and foot. There can be associated cervical spine disc bulge leading to neck pain I will advise you to do MRI whole spine screening. For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
